Orthodontic treatment has been revolutionized by clear aligner therapy, offering patients a more esthetic and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. In 1999, Align Technology introduced Invisalign. As Invisalign has increased in popularity and demand over the past two decades, clinical trials have shed light on the efficacy of Invisalign treatment. there have been changes in the Invisalign protocol such as introduction of SmartForce features in 2008, such as optimized attachments as well as the implementation of SmartTrack aligner material in 2011. Compared to conventional fixed orthodontic appliances, Invisalign cannot be adjusted on a visit-to visit basis. If ideal tooth movement has not been achieved after completion of the first sequence of aligners, additional trays, known as refinement trays, are required.
